someone at woot thinks of a theme.
someone else writes the contest writeup, which is an imperfect description of the theme (mabe they don't understand it exactly anyway)
the rejectorator rejects designs based on some arbitrary criteria, which is never described in the derby discussion threads, and only vaguely hinted at in the rejection notice. the rejection criteria doesn't depend at all on the contest writeup, so there's no way for designers to know where the lines should be drawn.

so rejections are hard to understand, confusion and bitterness reign. world ends on an unhappy note. the end.

Josephus wrote:I had a good idea for a shirt this morning...on the back, I ran with the raptors in Pamplona. July 7th, 77,000,000 B.C. with rips through the back of the shirt, and scratched skin showing through.

I know they said no front and back, but I don't see why they won't do just the back, I like it,
do it, v8r commands you

I think I'd redraw it myself- a lion I mean. Looks like its the same thing.
Of course, it matters what the rights to the clipart are. It might be public domain.

Take this image and draw the head from it, real simple, a few lines. Then you have an original clipart that's clean. The image is Rembrandt's, and is public domain.

Thanks, all I have is a touch pad, not mouse or tablet, so I don't know that I have enough time to draw it. I had the idea too late I guess.

what if she did the full face like so:
does that make enough difference and/or fall under the parody? I like the half face but don't know

Where do I find the t-shirts to put it on?
Now is it too late?
Is my lion too uncool now?

v8r-some of your questions didn't show up when I was on earlier, so, the original was done on photoshop, the new lion was drawn in publisher then moved to photoshop.
the font is "Japanese Brush"

look for a post from that guy Jack
somehting or other. He made a shirt template for photoshop. the woot photoshop template is HUGE, but you can get it from the submission page, in the "huh" or "what" link next to the Tshirt comp selection box.

It seems like you better get your shirt up in the first day or so because so many people just vote for the top four, whether they're any good or not. There's a lot of shirts I like a lot better than the ones in the fog.

I agree with you generally speaking.. . what's in the fog.... maybe I will go look.
